could do to stop it. They told him the tubers were going past city limits to where they could legally access the creek and that the city could not stop them from doing so, which didn’t sit well with Bernheim. “There’s no social distancing and no one is in control,” said Bernheim. “I don’t want to sound like a conspiracy person but I just think they have an ulterior motive so they can get more people to come here and go to the restaurants and grab ice cream or sandwiches and the heck with the people that got them elected into the office to begin with.”
Just two weeks before Jeffco’s 20202021 school year will begin, Jefferson County Education Association or JCEA, the local teachers union, plans to call on the district to change its process for planning students’ return to school. The union’s main ask is that teachers have more direct say in the district’s restart plan. As opposed to district leaders controlling the restart plan, the JCEA would like the district to create a committee of leaders, teachers and parents to have the authority over changing the plan. Jeffco Public Schools has spent the summer planning for the 2020-2021 school year (scheduled to begin the week of Aug. 24), amid unfamiliar health and safety guidelines from the state and county to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Potential plans have changed throughout the summer. On July 8 the district stated that all students would have the option to learn remotely or return in-person starting the week of Aug. 24. But an update on July 23 said that from Aug. 24 through Sept. 4, all students will engage in remote

Controversy on the creek Golden attempting to balance interests of safety and recreation, but some residents are frustrated BY PAUL ALBANI-BURGIO PALBANIBURGIO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
On a recent Sunday afternoon, Scott Bernheim went to downtown Golden to grab frozen yogurt with his family. He was shocked by what he saw when arrived, especially as he walked closer to Clear Creek.
“The place was just crawling with people lined up front-to-back and side-to-side and some had masks and some didn’t but they all had tubes and they were just walking and walking and walking,” he said. That scene particularly surprised Bernheim because he had heard the creek was supposed to be closed to recreation due to concerns about how crowding could spread COVID-19. He could also see that the access points to the water had been fenced off by the city. So when police officers drove by on a golf cart, he decided to ask them what was going on and if there was anything they

CLEAR CREEK FROM PAGE 1
In recent weeks, complaints from both residents like Bernheim concerned about transmission at the creek and those who feel the city has acted unreasonably in attempting to close access points to the creek have become common in Golden as the creek has become the latest COVID-19 flashpoint in a summer full of them. Carly Lorentz, Golden’s Deputy City Manager, said the question of what to do about the creek as the city too has “significant concerns about people gathering closely together.” However, she said the city’s current goal is to “limit gatherings along the creek” while finding “a way to allow for some recreational usage of the creek as there are limited opportunities this year for activities, especially waterrelated activities.” Access closed but recreation still allowed To that end, the city’s current approach has been to close access to the creek in Golden, except for at Vanover Park, which is the location the city has specified for those participating in activities in the creek to exit it. That means those wanting to tube or kayak in the creek now must enter the creek at access points in unincor-

learning. Further, beginning Sept. 8, elementary students will have the option to learn remotely or in-person five days a week, while secondary students will have the option to learn remotely or engage in a hybrid schedule, in which they will attend inperson some days but not all five days of a week. As of press time on Aug. 11, that was the working plan for Jeffco Publich Schools. The district provided a statement to Colorado Community Media saying that updates to the plan have been informed by input from many sources, including staff members and the state and county health departments. But for months, JCEA members have voiced their concerns about a return to in-person schooling, including at an Aug. 4 rally outside the Jeffco Public Schools Education Center, 1829 Denver West Drive. There, teachers did not give an

POLICING THE CREEK Part of the city’s attempts to deal with issues presented by the COVID-19 pandemic, Golden park rangers and police officers have been spending a lot of time along the creek corridor. During the weekend of Aug. 1 and 2, police had 525 contacts along with the creek with 106 related to mask enforcement and 19 related to violations of creek access, according to the city. A total of six citations were issued with all citations issued after officers observed people cutting the fences blocking creek access or climbing over. The weekend before, rangers and police made 218 contacts related to creek access and mask enforcement and issued one citation. porated Jeffco. The portions of the creek in unincorporated Jeffco are under the jurisdiction of the Jefferson County Sheriff, which is not currently limiting access to the creek. JCOS spokeswoman Jenny Fulton said the county feels it is safe to have its creek access points open to recreators because there are limited access points and the access points that do exist are not “ideal place for gatherings.” She said it is mainly the possibility for gatherings at the access points that are a concern, as once people are in the water there is “generally six feet of distance or close to that” between them.
exact date for when they believe an in-person return to school would be safe, but said they feel additional data on pandemic case numbers and more widespread testing should precede an in-person return. “We want to go back to our classrooms as they were in early March. (But) if we cannot prevent the occasional classroom outbreak of lice, how can we contain something we cannot see?” Elizabeth Kantner, an Arvada High School math teacher, said at the rally. The district should “include educators in the process of a safe start to schools,” she said, echoing fellow teachers. “We are the ones who have firsthand knowledge of what works and what is wishful thinking.” The union’s goal has consistently been to ensure the district is weighing teachers’ voices fairly as it determines what the Jeffco restart will look like, according to Brooke Williams, JCEA president. On Aug. 6, Williams said the JCEA met with district leaders to schedule its next bargaining session. During the session, JCEA intends to ask the district to consider creating a com-
“Presumably people who are engaging in those water activities in close proximity to one another are also people who have already been in close proximity to each other,” she said. Golden Mayor Laura Weinberg said she has heard from many residents who are concerned to see people in the creek despite the access point closures and feels there has come to be confusion about what the city is trying to accomplish with those closures. “The biggest concern we have had with Clear Creek has been around crowding and I think that’s where the disconnect and the confusion lies,” Weinberg said. “We haven’t had concern about people actually swimming in the creek. There has been no public health guidance that says being on a tube in the creek is a risk. The goal of the measures that have been taken is to prevent people from grouping together in a small space and not being able to social distance.” Weinberg also said the measures the city has taken have been largely successful in eliminating the kinds of crowding the city saw before the July 4 weekend, when it instituted the closures. She said the city also deploys police officers to monitor the creek and ask people to wear masks, which are required in outdoor spaces where six feet of social distance. However, she cautions that the city does not have the resources to patrol every section
of the creek and respond to every person who is not wearing a mask. But not all residents are happy with that approach. Amanda Hill, the owner of the Virtuosity Dance Studio, said she feels it is wrong that businesses like hers were asked to close for several months to help with the pandemic only to see the Adventure West River Tube Rentals now renting tubes next to the creek near Parfet Park. “So many of us made that sacrifice, locked our doors and lost a tremendous amount of income and potentially even entire businesses only to have two rental companies sweep in during the summer and just rent out in a completely socially irresponsible way to tourists in our town,” said Hill. “Why was it so easy to make that request of the rental companies but not of the rest of us?” The Golden Transcript contacted Adventure West River Tube Rentals via email last week to discuss the situation but did not receive a response. Lorentz said that the city is scheduled to review its creek strategy at the Aug. 27 city council meeting. “While city staff don’t think it’s working perfectly, it is a difficult balance to maintain and unless city council decides to completely open or close the creek, city staff believes we need to keep adjusting, monitoring and enforcing our current configuration,” she said.
mittee of community members, such as parents and members of JCEA, and district leaders to take over the restart plan process. “We’re trying to get a committee that will make these decisions based on cases, science and what’s really going on,” Williams said. “We want to make sure it’s a transparent (process).”
teachers’ input than the original July 8 plan did. “I hope district administration will do a better job moving forward of considering the actual frontline workers’ concerns,” she said. Other parents, like Tho Truong, have praised the district’s approach to balancing input from all sides, saying that while no plan can be ideal because of the ever-changing nature of the pandemic, the current plan is the best option for students. “I believe Jeffco has listened to the teachers’ concerns and is doing its best to maximize safety. It really cannot do more and having kids go without some sort of in-person schooling for one to two years is less realistic for our society than coaching kids to do the right thing and pulling this off,” Truong said. “I am disappointed in a sort of false dichotomy that is out there: that the risk has to be near zero or no in-person school is possible.” As of Aug. 6, the union and district had not yet set a date for their next bargaining session but had plans to hold at least one more session prior to the start of the school year.
Families uncertain The call for change comes at a time when many Jeffco parents have struggled with ongoing uncertainty, including their own uncertainties of what road to choose for their students. Susan Carter Ruskell, a Wheat Ridge High School parent, previously told Colorado Community Media that with the July 23 update, she and her 11th grade daughter felt more comfortable about the idea of returning in-person, thanks to the change to a hybrid schedule for secondary students. That said, Carter Ruskell said she still had concerns about how schools would handle grouping students and managing outbreaks. Overall, however, she felt the changes better reflected

Teacher raises still uncertain BY CASEY VAN DIVIER CVANDIVIER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
The Jeffco teachers union, JCEA, is still working to negotiate a salary arrangement as part of its Collective Bargaining Agreement with Jeffco Public Schools. At the union’s recent bargaining session with the district on Aug. 5, the two parties did not come to a final agreement but each gave the other a most recent offer to consider in preparation for the next bargaining session. In light of the financial consequences of COVID-19 — which district chief financial officer said may not be felt this year because of government aid, but could likely leave the district with more than $40 million in cuts to make for 20212022 — the district has held it is unable to give teachers the increase in compensations that were discussed previously in the year. Prior to the hits state funding
for schools took due to the coronavirus, Board of Education members had a preliminary discussion about a potential $17 million, approximately, going toward teacher compensation this year. Teachers have adjusted their asks since the pandemic began and are now requesting a 1% raise for each educator, as well as a step increase, related to how many years of experience a teacher has, for the educators who have applied for the increase this year. Similarly, the teachers asked for level increases, related to levels of higher education achieved by a teacher, such when an educator earns a master’s degree. Another primary request of the union was for the district bargaining team to schedule a future meeting for the district if finances change and Jeffco comes into $5 million or more in the coming months. They would like the same to be true if Jeffco experi-
ences a decrease in funding and asked the district to specify the amount in decrease that would bring them back to the bargaining table. In response, the district gave its offer, saying it would be willing to return to the bargaining table at a later date but only for a $10 million increase or decrease in funding, not the $5 million the teachers requested. The district agreed to a 1% raise for educators; agreed to level increases but not step increases; and requested all teachers take one day without work but with pay. “We really, really, really need steps, but we are going to consult our members,” JCEA bargaining chair Christy Yacano said in response. “We will be in touch with our members and then we’ll be ready to come back to the table, hopefully soon.” As of Aug. 6, the district and union had not yet set a future bargaining date.

Homeownership Surged During the Pandemic, According to a Realtor.com Report On July 28th, Realtor.com published an article by Clare Trapasso with surprising statistics about a surge in homeownership during the second quarter of this year. According to her article, which was based on a U.S. Census Bureau report, the homeownership rate surged to 67.9%, the highest it has been since the Great Recession of 2008. (See chart at right.) That rate was 3.8 percentage points higher than the same quarter of 2019 and a 2.6 percentage point increase over the first quarter of this year. Covid-19 became a factor during the last month of the first quarter, but dominated the entire second quarter. The homeownership rate in this century peaked at 69.2% during the second and fourth quarters of 2004. As you’d expect, the homeownership rate varies among different age groups, currently 40.6% for adults under 35 and 80.4% of persons 65 and older. The rate has been rising in each age group. In 2015 (2nd quarter) it was 38.4% for the under-35 age group, and it was 78.5% for the 65-and-over group. The greatest increase was in the 35-44 age group, which increased from 58.0% to 64.3% during the same 5-year period. Homeownership surged in every race and ethnic group in the second quarter from last year to this year. For NonHispanic Whites, the rate increased from 73.1% to 76.0%. For Blacks it surged from 40.6% to 47.0%, and for Hispanics of any race, it surged from 46.6% to 51.4%.
The Census report came with a caveat that its data collection methodology was impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic, shifting from a mix of inperson and phone interviews to entirely phone interviews, which resulted in a reduced response rate, declining from 70% in April to only 65% in June, compared to an average response rate of 82.7% during the second quarter of 2019. Realtor.com’s chief economist, Danielle Hale, believes the increase in homeownership was distorted by the change in methodology. “It’s likely the homeownership rate rose, but I don’t think it’s likely that it rose that much,” she said. According to the article on realtor.com, “After a pause during stay-athome orders, the housing market has rebounded — and then some. The lack of homes on the market hasn't discouraged the hordes of buyers from descending en masse, seeking to escape small, city apartments and cramped starter homes while taking advantage of recordlow mortgage interest rates. (Rates dipped just below 3% for the first time ever earlier this month.)” As an example, Rita and I just locked in an interest rate of 2.5% for refinancing our home’s mortgage with Jaxzann Riggs of The Mortgage Network. “People still want to own homes, and with mortgage rates low, a lot of people are taking advantage of that even though there are lots of scary things going on in the economy,” says realtor.com’s Hale.

Gray areas = Recessions Blue = Homeownership Rate Red = Seasonally Adjusted Rate
The article continues, “This has led median home prices to shoot up 9.1% year over year in the week ending July 18. That's despite a recession and the most widespread unemployment
since the Great Depression. Meanwhile, the number of homes for sale is down 33% compared with the previous year, when the nation was already experiencing a housing shortage.”
In Bidding Wars, ‘Highest & Best’ Isn’t Necessarily the Best In today’s seller’s market, it is common for a new listing to attract multiple offers. There are three ways for a listing agent to deal with competing offers. Above all, it is important that the method chosen is in the seller’s interest, since that’s the listing agent’s legal obligation. The first approach, of course, is to do nothing — not advise buyers that you have multiple offers and simply accept the best one. This approach, however, assures that the seller won’t get the most money he or she can get for their home. The more common approach taken is to inform buyer agents that there are multiple offers and instruct them to submit their “highest and best” offer by a particular deadline. Sometimes the listing agent will add that the seller “reserves the right to sell the home prior to that deadline.” When I’m functioning as the buyer’s agent, I hate that approach. Why? Because it could inspire my client, shooting in the dark, to offer more than he needs to in order to win the bidding war, but, worse, we could learn later that my buyer could have won the bidding war if he or she had only offered a little bit more.
The third approach is our approach at Golden Real Estate — to function like an auctioneer. If you’ve been to an auction, you know how it works. Everyone knows what the highest bid is and no one is blindsided. As I explain to buyers and agents, “The only way you will lose out is if you drop out.” They love it. Using this approach, I got my 6th Avenue West listing featured in last week’s column under contract for $41,000 over the listing price. The winning bidder’s agent had submitted a fullprice offer initially, but, knowing the competing offers, she won the bidding war with her third contract. The other agents had the opportunity to win the bidding war, but they chose when to drop out. The result was that the winner was happy, the seller was very happy, and no one was angry or blindsided in the process. In a bidding war on my other new listing, the price was bid up by about $20,000. In that case, the seller chose the buyer in second place (but not by much) because that buyer was an owneroccupant and the other buyer was an investor. The seller is always in charge.

Golden High graduates finally get to celebrate after their brush with history After 146 years, a Golden High graduation unlike any other BY PAUL ALBANI-BURGIO PALBANIBURGIO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
The number 147 loomed larger over the long-awaited graduation ceremony at Golden High School on Friday. For one, it was the 147th graduation ceremony in the history of the school, which claims to be Colorado’s oldest continually operating high school. For another, the ceremony took place 147 days after the students had all last been together at school on the now infamous Friday the 13th that saw students heading home for the weekend only to later learn that they be finishing their school year there as a result of the COVID-19 The unique brush with history that came with finishing high school during the pandemic was a frequent theme in the traditional student speeches. “Class of 2020, we are the class who entered this world during the horrors of 9/11 and here we stand during a global pandemic, COVID-19,” said valedictorian Maia Songer, who received an unweighted 4.0 GPA while taking a maximum course load at the school. “But here we stand and we are thankful for that.” Thankful and ready to take on the world—pandemic and all. “This year history has affected us,” said student speaker Kendall Wetch. “Now let’s go out and affect history.”

Downtown mainstay Avenue Gifts closing as a result of pandemic BY PAUL ALBANI-BURGIO PALBANIBURGIO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Avenue Gifts owner and lifelong Golden resident Donna Owen wasn’t planning to retire anytime soon. The COVID-19 pandemic, however, had other ideas. So after 15 years of business, Owen says Avenue Gifts will close once everything at the store is sold during the current going-out-of-business sale. “Business has slowed down to the point where with the lack of tourists in town we are making enough to pay the bills but we are not making a profit,” said Owen. “All we are doing is depleting the inventory so while I still have stuff to sell people, and am still able to do it, it’s just a good time to retire.” The closure of the well-known store will mark the end of Owen’s long retail career in Golden, which started in 1959 when she began working for the Foss family in their restaurant. Owen later started working at Foss Drug and eventually rose to a vice-president position with the Foss company before leaving after 39 years to start Avenue Gifts. That store, located at 1212 Washington Avenue, is known for stocking of children’s toys, Golden souvenirs and other gift items. Dave Shuey, a longtime friend of the Foss’, said that while Owen learned how to run a business from the Foss’, it was her passionate for the Golden community and the people who live there that made the store the Golden institution it became. “When people needed to know something they went to Donna and if they needed advice they went to see Donna because she knew what was

PHOTO BY PAUL ALBANI-BURGIO going on in the community and how to respond,” said Shuey. Golden Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Nola Krajewski said Owen’s devotion to the community will be missed by many in town. “She leads a group of downtown businesses and strives to create an environment of welcome and hospitality to all of those that visit downtown,” she said. “She has helped plan many favorite downtown events, including last year’s Olde Golden Christmas parades. Her store, and the warm welcome she provides to many in Golden, will be missed.” But as Avenue Gifts was becoming a part of Washington Avenue’s fabric, the nature of life in Golden was also changing in ways that created new
challenges for businesses like Avenue Gifts. “Golden used to be a more tight-knit community where everyone knew everyone and supported everyone,” Owen said. “The sad part about Golden now is there are so many people with Golden mailing addresses that never come to downtown, unless they have out-of-town visitors and then they come to show them what a cute downtown we have. But they don’t spend money down here.” Now businesses like Avenue Gifts depend on tourists, particularly the 250,000 who come each year to take the Coors Brewery tour. But those tours have not been happening since March, and there is no word yet on when they might resume.

“Everything you read says tourism is going to be slow in coming back,” said Shuey, who worked for the Foss’ and ran a restaurant downtown before retiring 13 years ago. “You just hope everybody can survive until we get our economy back on track.” Those sentiments were echoed by Krajewski, who said that most retailers have been able to keep their doors open but noted it has been a “delicate balance between staffing their stores and having enough customers to make it worthwhile to be open.” “Our businesses need the people that call Golden “home” to shop and dine locally in order to pull through this difficult season,” said Krajewski. “Golden businesses are open and are practicing a high degree of safety standards in order to be open, but without more customers, they are not out of the woods yet.” The Avenue Gifts space, which is owned by the Stillman family that also owns the Ace-Hi Tavern, will become the new location of Marrygram’s Boutique Cards and Gifts. Owen, meanwhile, is still figuring out what her life will look like postAvenue Gifts. “The next chapter is kind of wide open,” she said. “My joke with my husband is that at Christmas time maybe I will go down to Meyer Hardware and ask if I can giftwrap.”

Signs of recovery in Jefferson economy but challenges remain Chamber head worries about possible new shutdowns BY PAUL ALBANI-BURGIO PALBANIBURGIO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
There are signs Jefferson County’s economy is recovering from the depths it reached earlier in the COVID-19 pandemic, although several indicators suggest the county has a long way to go before being back to where it was before the pandemic began. On July 28, Mary O’Neil, Jefferson County’s Director of Strategy Planning and Analysis, told the Jeffco commissioners that the county unemployment rate has been trending down from a high of 12.1% in April to 10% in June. That decrease mirrors trends that are being seen at the state and national level with the national unemployment rate having decreased from 14.7% to 11.1%. The county unemployment rate had hovered between 2% and 3% in the six months prior to April. “Even though these rates are still fairly high we are seeing a downward trend which is positive,” said O’Neil. Consumer spending in Jeffco has also made significant gains from where it was in April, O’Neil said, when it dropped nearly 30% from midJanuary. Overall, consumer spending for early July was down about 10.6% from where it was in the same period January but has increased 5.4% compared to early June.

PHOTO BY PAUL ALBANI-BURGIO “Consumer spending is trending back up but we are seeing some fluctuations as well,” O’Neil said. Pam Bales, the president and CEO of the West Metro Chamber of Commerce, said that during a recent meeting of municipal chambers of commerce hosted by the West Metro Chamber, businesses are generally feeling better about their prospects than they have in the past few months. “Everybody feels pretty good about people are coming back out again, businesses are starting to see more people,” Bales said. Concern remains about recent spikes Jefferson County has seen in its COVID-19 numbers, although case numbers now seem to be declining again after several weeks of increases. At this point, Bales said the biggest concern for businesses is the possibil-
ity that case number increases could lead to the opening of businesses to be rolled back, similar to what happened last month when Gov. Jared Polis announced he was closing all bars for in-person service. To that end, Bales said the Jeffco chambers continue to try to get the message out to both businesses and the larger community that is important to take steps like maintaining mask wearing compliance and other preventative practices to ensure the economy can stay open. “Put your whatever aside,” Bales. “Let’s keep our economy open. Even if you don’t like it, if you want to see the economy stay open then wear a mask.” However, Bales said some industries, particularly restaurants, hotels and event venues had seen business
improve somewhat, but continue to struggle. “A couple of my big members are the Sheraton Denver West and Marriott Denver West,” Bales said. “Those are big venues and they do a lot of stuff in Jeffco and they are just not able to do as much as they need to. They’re doing more, which is good, but it’s tough.” Despite the lingering challenges, Bales said she remains optimistic about the future and the county’s ability to continue its recovery. “Jeffco is a very unique county,” she said. “We are one-third Republican, one-third Democrat and one-third independent but I truly believe we want what’s best for our county.” “We are pretty open,” she added, “and I think we can get more open if we work together.”

After years of complaints Golden is rethinking its approach to zoning City seeking resident input as zoning code gets an overhaul BY PAUL ALBANI-BURGIO PALBANIBURGIO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
“It’s just sort of become a mess.” That’s how Cory Miller, Golden’s long term city planner, describes the city’s zoning code, which is theoretically supposed to provide a blueprint for how and where the city can develop. But at a time when Golden is confronting new pressures as the population of the Front Range booms and developers seek to build new housing for all the new arrivals, residents, developers and city staff all came to agree that the existing code was no longer fulfilling its intended function. “Developers can’t get strong intent statements out of the code and don’t really know what is regulated and they have to cross-reference several different sections,” Miller said. “It ends up being most of the time that when a development goes through it goes to the planning commission and then there is this weird negotiating process that occurs when really that shouldn’t happen. The code should be clear, it should be legible and people should know how to use it.” Then there is the issue of the age of the code, which Miller said was written at a time when different types of development were popular in Golden, which was facing different issues then it is today. “I think the type of development the

The city is rewriting its zoning code largely in response to such issues. PHOTO BY PAUL ALBANI-BURGIO county would like to see isn’t properly reflected in the code,” he said. So, after years of confronting concerns and complaints about those issues, the city recently decided it was past time to undertake a process to fully audit and revamp the code in order to make it align with the vision Golden’s current residents have for its

future. First, however, the city had to figure what residents and other stakeholders actually wanted from a zoning code — and how those desires differed from the existing code. Diagnostic Report The city selected a group of consultants consisting of representatives of three architecture and urban design firms in 2019 to analyze the city’s existing code and built environment and interview stakeholders in order to create a diagnostic report presenting those issues. That report, released in May, outlines several major issues with the code that fall into three main categories: issues with the review process, issues with the navigability of the code and issues with maintaining community character. Specific issues mentioned include an “inability to regenerate the `small town character in new neighborhoods,” “parking requirements that discourage and prevent small businesses,” “a lack of supporting visuals in the code,” and “public works and building departments are not on the same page with the planning department in terms of significant items.” In response to those issues, the project team also proposed the creation of new zone districts that will better calibrate the regulations found in the code with the development goals of the city. “These new zones districts will ensure that new construction is appropriately scaled to Golden’s character in different areas of the city,” according to a statement from the city posted on Guiding Golden. “It will also clean up the navigational issues by consolidating older sections in one better organized area of the zoning code and trimming the excess language that is no longer required. Finally, the new zone districts will be rewritten so that they are legible for the modern-day users of the code, and images, tables and diagrams will be added to further assist the user.” But before the team fully turns to the rewrite portion of the process, it is seeking input from the community

in the form of surveys about various aspects of the code that are now available on the Guiding Golden website. In addition, the city has also launched an effort called Golden Building Blocks that asks residents to take photos of structures or other elements of the city that they believe exemplify the character of Golden they want the city to maintain. Residents can also leave comments about the diagnostic report. Residents have commented on issues ranging from support for the effort to concerns about its ramifications — and it seems not everyone is happy with the process so far. Commenter Terri Hamilton said expressed appreciation for the issues raised by the report and hopes the city will delve into them. However, Hamilton also expressed concern about how the city could change its regulations around parking. “Not providing adequate parking is bad for business, livability and land values,” Hamliton wrote. “Codes and incentives should not under-provide for parking. If developers don’t pay for it upfront, the community pays for it later- in one way or another.” A commenter identified as justinr meanwhile, described the audit report as “frightening” and “overreaching.” “This report essentially says to me you are going to completely reorganize the current zoning and start to clamp down design principles to fit a completely new mold and limit any future building on my properties,” justinr wrote. ` The zoning code rewrite process is scheduled to last through the spring with project team presenting a new draft of a zoning code in November. However, Miller said the process is being extended as a result of COVID-19.

Governor announces new, faster COVID testing sites Water World, Aurora Sports Complex new location for free testing BY SCOTT TAYLOR STAYLOR@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Governor Jared Polis said the state is opening a new front on the battle against COVID-19 Monday with two new drive-up testing sites in Aurora and Federal Heights. On hand at Hyland Hills Water World to open the testing site there, Polis said fast testing will be the key to stopping the pandemic virus’ spread and returning Colorado to normal. “We know that our success against this virus relies on information,” Polis said. “This is a war and intelligence is critical, knowing where the enemy is and if you are in danger. The sooner you know that, the quicker you can act to get treatment and to alert those around you that might have been exposed.” The tests will be available at the Aurora Sports Complex, 19300 E. Colfax, and Hyland Hills Water World, 8801 N. Pecos St. Polis said another testing site would be announced later this week. People that want to be tested should register at the testing website. A link to that registration page is located on Adams County’s website, adamscountycovid19.org/free-covid-19-testingsite-water-world. To register for the Aurora site, visit the the Tri-County Health Department website www.tchd. org/AuroraTesting.
Flanked by Adams County Commissioners and other county officials Aug. 10 in the parking lot of the shuttered Hyland Hills Water World, Governor Jared Polis announced two new free fast-track COVID-19 testing sites. Governor Jared Polis makes a point Aug. 10 while Adams County Commissioner Eva Henry looks on. Polis opened two new free fast-track COVID-19 testing sites Aug. 10, one at the Aurora Sports Complex and a second at Water World in Federal Heights. PHOTOS BY SCOTT TAYLOR
Both site will operate daily from 8 a.m. - 4 p.m., through September, with the possibility of an extension based on community need. Up to 2,500 tests will be administered at both sites each day, and there is no cost to get tested. Visitors do not need an identification card, a social security number or insurance to get a test. Nine testing lanes are set up in the Water World parking lot to accommodate the expected number of people. The tests will be administered by MAKO Medical and results will be available in two to four days.
Polis said the new sites grew out of frustration with delays getting results from other testing sites. “Much of the testing being done by the national labs was simply taking too long for Colorado residents, too long for our public health needs,” Polis said. “People were not hearing back for nine, ten days. I even heard on person had to wait for 12 days. So we wanted to do something to fix it.” The new tests should return results with in four days, and Polis said he hopes they can do them even faster. “It is incredibly important that if
we are going to defeat this virus, we need to find out out where it is and act quickly, rather than letting it creep up on us in stealth mode,” he said. Adams County Commission Chair Emma Pinter said the county learned about the possibility of having a major testing site in Adams County on July 29. “In just 10 days, the Adams County team pulled together a cross-departmental working group to make sure we had this facility up and running and that we have everything and all the materials ready to go,” Pinter said. The site will also cater to nonEnglish speakers, with testing instructions in English, Spanish, Hmong and Farsi. “The virus does not care what language you speak,” Polis said.

Current troubles not leading to a grand reveal HITTING HOME

O
ne of those favorite, old, go-to tropes that was often quoted to me as a youngster — lo, those many years ago — was “adversity builds character.” Any time something would go wrong, or something would require more effort than I had originally planned on, it seemed somebody older than me was willing to run out that old cliché as a way to encourage me. Like, right. I’m 12. What I really want is “character,” not that new Atari game. At any rate, in the intervening years, I have heard that thought amended, I think quite smartly. James Lane Allen said, and I believe Vince Lombardi was fond of repeating, that “adversity does not build character, it reveals
it.” So, so true. When something goes wrong, or an objective requires more effort than was originally planned on, how often do you see the rookies step up and suddenly lead the muddle-through to “build their character”? Or, rather, how often is it the usual suspects, with force of will and a never-say-die attitude, from the eye of the hurricane, that lead the way towards the yellow sun? It’s been my experience that, invariably, it is that second one. Character sees adversity as a challenge, as an opportunity to grow. Character sees adversity through a lens of problem and solution, rather than inconvenience. Character meets adversity through a filter of objectives and
J LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Chance to change Regarding Mr. Alcorn’s previous article about the oportunity for schools to change during this period of disrupiton: Schools do need to change for the 21 century. One part that has nothing to do with academics is to acknowledge that schools provide child care for working parents. When this is disrupted, there’s no fallback. Much like health insurance being tied to employers, child care is tied to schools. Is this wise? Now that we’ve been confronted with a virus that sends children home to learn online, who’s watching the kids? What are parents to do if they’re lucky enough to have a job where they must go outside their home to work? Let’s change this connection. Monica O’Brien Wolfe, Lakewood Mask order lacks teeth The statewide mask mandate was a great step in protecting our state from COVID-19, but it lacks teeth. Employees at retail stores, fitness centers, and other businesses are often the primary level of enforcement. When someone claims a medical exemption, they have to just let them go mask free without any documentation. I’m sure

there are very few who truly need this exemption, but I see it abused often. I was working at a gym and couldn’t enforce it on the guy who rode his bike to the facility. If you’re riding your bike then choosing to be in a high-risk environment like a fitness center, I question your true need to be mask free. I was behind someone entering Walmart recently who told employees, “My doctor says I can’t wear a mask.” Really? You had a consultation with your doctor and your respiratory system is in such bad shape that it’s still advisable you be in Walmart. You don’t have to go anywhere. We live in an age of technology that lets you have literally anything delivered to your door or for curbside pickup. Going to a fitness center is a luxury, not a requirement. The same goes for restaurants. If Gov. Polis decides to extend the mask order, he should amend it to be more enforceable -- either allowing a business to flat out refuse entry to those without a mask or requiring documentation from a doctor. Without it, the maskless will continue to ruin it for everyone. Kevin Smith, Wheat Ridge SEE LETTERS, P12

Once upon a time, our European betters looked upon Americans as brash young cowboys, uncouth, unsophisticated and annoying.

In seventh grade, my music teacher told us Beethoven was totally deaf by the age of 44 or 45, but continued to compose music. There have been a number of individuals limited in one way or another who have accomplished extraordinary things. In particular, I am still amazed by Keller.

A more natural yard makes dollars and sense Editor’s Note: This piece is an excerpt from the May 2019 Colorado Gardener magazine
I
am a Denver Realtor. The other day I was checking out a gorgeous house that was staged beautifully. However, as I walked in I noticed the GUEST rounded balls of juniper on long COLUMN stems that graced Christine (or disgraced?) the front entryway. I Tomovich wondered, why did they update the inside but not the outside? They could have made it more contemporary and low maintenance. How often did they, or their gardener, have to shape those silly round balls. It got me thinking that our landscapes need to reflect more enlightened concepts. I read an article over a decade ago about homeowners with a “Certified Wildlife Habitat.” Following National Wildlife Federation guidelines, they created a haven for bees, birds, butterflies, and other small wildlife. This had also added monetary value, both increasing the selling price and keeping maintenance costs down while the sellers lived in it. I decided to get my backyard certified as well. It wasn’t difficult. There were a few

western democracies were sure happy to have a few million cowboys storming Normandy and beating the Third Reich back to Berlin. That “American character,” while annoying to our elders, was absolutely necessary to push back when evil men tried to overrun the free world. We saw the Kaiser and the Nazis as a call to grow, as a problem with distinct solutions, and as a series of objectives that we simply weren’t constitutionally build to eschew. Sure, it took us a little time to take those problems seriously (back then, having two oceans protecting your borders was a pretty good argument that you were safe), but, once we engaged, nobody anywhere doubted our resolve. So, I ask again, how’s our American character looking these days? We have people absolutely losing their minds in public over being asked to wear a mask. We have legitimate protests being hijacked to make some of our greatest cities look Mogadishu or Benghazi. We have grandmas being attacked on the streets for trying to put out fires. We have a government that can’t, from day to day, get its own
requirements: providing clean water, food, cover (for wildlife to find protection), and places to raise young, plus implementing some sustainable practices. Choices included: xeriscape, drip irrigation, integrated pest management, using native plants, eliminating chemical pesticides and/or fertilizers, using compost, using mulch, etc. (It’s all on their website at nwf.org.) When I finished I felt like my backyard helped me feel connected to the bigger purpose of helping our environment. There are now 247,000 National Certified Backyards that form an ever expanding connected patchwork across the country. I read about sustainability everywhere now – and the necessity for doing something. Colony collapse of bees, the decline of Monarchs and other butterflies, concern for our overall carbon footprint, the loss of prairie and other wild area habitat have made this not just a concern, but a crisis. Entire cities are seeking to get certified.The Denver Botanic Gardens CEO Brian Vogt says that this “regeneration” of our ecosystem will allow changes to happen quickly. For example, The Gardens is involved in a project to restore a creek altered years ago by the Army Corps of Engineers to control water
My high school English teacher is Level Eight. She’s falling apart, she says. I told her Olivia de Havilland reached Level Ten.

message straight. And when it does, it is often undermined by the head of that government. We have cities that are now advising their citizens to be prepared to simply hand over their possessions, because the city can’t muster the will the protect them any more. We have a Congress being held hostage by ideological non-sequiturs from the extremes of both sides of the aisle, guaranteeing that the people who really need a little help right now won’t get it. And one report put the number of *Colorado* businesses that have permanently shuttered since March at 6,800. I used to take it for granted that, if the world were truly going to Hell in a hula hoop, that we, the people, would find a way to pull our acts together and do good things. Are we really that people any more? And what, exactly, with any credibility, can we say to our own children about facing adversity these days?

flow. It modified the ecosystem in a way that has not been beneficial. Over a few years, native plants were put in. Vogt notes, “The impacts have already evidenced themselves. Plants have roared to life, native birds and insects are returning – even the sounds have changed.” What an inspiring thought — restoration of simple sounds and joys that many of us experienced everyday as children! As a youngster I was outside most of every day when not in school, hanging out with my fellow denizens in the yard: birds, bugs, butterflies, worms, caterpillars, flowers and prickly seed pods, magical fireflies, and creepy daddy long legs. I felt whole and peaceful. This isn’t the case anymore for most children, who spend hours a day staring at a screen and only minutes of outside time. Many adults also spend the vast majority of their time inside. At the same time society in general has become less happy and more anxious. Jamie Weiss, works with the Audubon Society’s Habitat Heroes program. She says that habitat and water loss are the two main challenges for nature preservation today. Given that lawns cover more than 20 million acres in the U.S., “if all those lawns were transformed into small habitat patches ... it would be
comparable to increasing the area of the entire national wildlife refuge system by 20%.” Even Taylor Morrison, one of the biggest residential development companies in the nation, has started partnering with the NWF to include wildlife refuge land into its developments. Being out in nature is soothing. My California middle grandson was skipping stones on a river next to the Durango hotel where the family was vacationing. When he finished he turned to me with a contented smile and said, “That was refreshing.” We all need these moments more than we realize. Certifying our backyards is one way to restore the serenity that comes through our connectedness to nature. We can share our values with our children and grandchildren. Creating a haven for wildlife in our back yards helps our pocketbook and, as is increasingly recognized, our mental health. So join the club. It’s easy.

Inman for county commissioner This November we will be choosing those who will serve us as our elected officials and in my opinion, there has never been a better choice for Jefferson County Commissioner than Joni Inman. I had the pleasure to work with Joni when she was Deputy City Manager for Lakewood and I served on the City Planning Commission for eight years. I was then elected as Councilman for Ward 3 for two terms. Through all the good times, and especially when things got challenging, Joni was there working hard to manage staff ’s concerns, keeping lines of communication open, and providing a strong voice and advise when it came to tough policy decisions. Joni is a skilled administrator and problem solver with a strong fiscally conservative philosophy. She knows how to make budgets work and allocate limited resources to keep vital services operating for the safety, health, and economic wellbeing of her constituents. Joni is strong when required, compassionate when needed and. as an entrepreneur, business coach and dedicated public servant, she will bring to the Commission her broad-based experience that will serve the citizens of Jefferson County well. She will bring to Jefferson County government responsible administration, respect for county staff and a model of good government policy. I ask my fellow citizens of Jefferson County whether you’re a Republican, Independent, or a Democrat to come together and elect Joni Inman our next County Commissioner. Ed Peterson, Lakewood We all must vote One of the most serious threats to the Democracy of the United States is the lack of participation in voting. In many elections less than 50% of registered voters vote. In Colorado it is easy to vote because we have mail-in ballots and if you aren’t registered or don’t receive a ballot, you can register on voting day – Nov. 3 this year. Citizens in autocratic, dictatorial countries can’t vote or they have only one choice – the leader currently in power. In order to restore the balance that our Constitution intends for a model democ-
racy we all must vote. The choice of candidates who you want to represent you should be YOUR choice. Your opinion on issues should be heard and the way to do that is to vote. Why am I writing this three months prior to a general election? Because it provides time to study the issues and to get more information about the candidates. Vote -it is not only a great privilege but a responsibility and a duty. Kathleen Flynn, Arvada Two questions about Elijah McClain Are there not two issues apparent in the tragic death of Elijah McClain? First, what are the so-called demonstrators who block streets and highways in Aurora (and other cities as well) actually seeking? Is it justice in the case of the family or vicarious pleasure (i.e. vengeance) in that of the mob? Can the latter be satiated, short of destroying someone or anyone in a position of authority? Secondly, as Elijah M. was forcibly sedated by the arriving paramedics, should we not ask: Why gives the state the power and authority to inject anything in an individual without his permission? Had not the horrors of so-called medical experimentation in the 20th Century, both at home with LSD, and abroad with medical experimentation on captives, educated local authorities? Should not Aurora lead the effort to ban involuntary medical malpractice and its collateral damage? Russell W Haas, Golden Gardner should go Back in May, the House Democrats passed the HEROES Act which would continue the $600 per week unemployment past July for folks who have lost their job due to COVID-19. Sadly, Cory Gardner and the rest of the Senate Republicans have wasted two months of precious time, and they are still dithering. Over 330,000 Coloradans depend on this money for food and rent until we can control the virus and re-build the economy. Until then, these jobs are gone, and families face eviction and hunger. I’m so disappointed in Senator Gardner who continues to vote in lockstep with Mitch McConnell and Trump instead of taking care of his constituents. I’m
voting for John Hickenlooper because he cares about Colorado families – not just pleasing Trump. Robin Kupernik, Arvada Lapsed assistance This week more than 330,000 Coloradans are put in a “terrifying” position after Senator Cory Gardner broke his promise that the Senate wouldn’t “drop the ball” and failed to extend unemployment insurance, an emergency lifeline that Colorado families have relied on to put food on the table and pay rent. Now, Gardner and Senate Republicans let emergency unemployment benefits expire that 330,000 Coloradans are relying on to put food on the table, pay rent, and care for their families. Gardner’s failure to deliver for the hundreds of thousands of Coloradans sparked two separate protests, but instead of listening to the “frightened” Coloradans, Gardner spent last week campaigning with Ivanka Trump. House Democrats passed sweeping legislation over two and a half months ago to restore funding to this vital program and support our frontline workers and hospitals, Gardner and Mitch McConnell refused to even debate the bill and now millions of Americans are left out to dry. It has been two months, two vacations, and one week of “infighting” since Gardner said it would be “unfathomable” for the Senate to leave Washington without passing further COVID relief, but Gardner folded. How can we support this Senator when he turns his back on Colorado? Rob Eadie, Lakewood Not a Trump Republican I am a lifelong Republican. I am 94. I first voted for Thomas E. Dewey. But I am not a Trump Republican. He has hijacked the Republican party. I am a Christian. My conscience would not let me support him. He first treated the virus as a hoax. He appointed the vice president as czar of the pandemic then immediately took over. He ridiculed his own medical staff unfairly until the medical community came to their support. He gave his recommendation for treatment which turned out to be completely negative, yet he still maintained it. The country was ill-prepared for the virus and supplies were mishandled. He tried to cover up his trysts with women by secret payments.
When the polls showed him trending down in vital states he spoke out against mail-in ballots. Although all evidence showed they were most successful in an honest election. He tried to change the date of the national election until he discovered that was a job of congress. If someone opposed him on one thing he immediately set out to destroy them as a person. It is time for a change. Join me and the millions of other Republicans to elect Joe Biden. Will Whitehead, Arvada Support for Alcorn’s alternative To the Modernist’s Letter who found Michael Alcorn editorial “tone deaf and insensitive” to our history of race and slavery, it is you who needs to educate yourself before writing publicly again. Our public educational system has long directed much of our learning away from truths about these subjects. Slavery has long affected all human races and was indigenous to the Americas as it was in many cultures of the time. I think revisionist historians here usually just seek to incite social strife in gaining democratic control of a country. As Mr. Alcorn’s alternative history experiment sought to do, we all should understand the concepts that some in education, history, journalists or media seek to change the narrative to what they want to see. Simple study debunks much of what is thought now as truth about the disgusting institutional practices such as slavery and common racism conflicts. The “1619 Project” of the New York Times tries to wrongly suggest racism and slavery were a central part of the USA’s creation. This revisiting has improved thinking of slavery and the arrival of Blacks in British colonies. But the project also has created educational curriculum for our schools with several historical disputable facts. It ignores that Native Americans had slavery in their societies as well as they themselves being enslaved and exported by colonists. Our Constitution doesn’t mention their race as being part or any kind of person. Revisionist histories must grasp the realities of the times. Michael Alcorn’s editorial was battling against where these revisionist departures would have ended up hurting all of our inalienable rights. Gary Scofield, Arvada

COVID-19 resources: Where to turn for help How to find assistance with food, housing, personal needs and more BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Maybe you’ve lost your family’s child care. Maybe you barely broke even this month. Maybe you’re on the verge of having to fend for yourself on the street. Maybe you’re a business owner, fighting to keep your doors open for your workers. Or maybe you’re an older adult, isolated and unsure of where to turn for help picking up groceries or your prescriptions. The coronavirus pandemic has been raging through Colorado for five months, but there are still people, nonprofits, government programs and other information that can help you make it through. Their services range from job training and job-search assistance to free, confidential support for mental health and substance-use concerns. We’ve compiled a list of programs that can help. For all of the website links for the programs mentioned below, go online to tinyurl.com/ COVID-19-help. Rent, mortgage assistance, eviction help A program to help Coloradans make their rent and mortgage payments launched in mid-July. Colorado’s Property Owner Preservation program resulted from state House Bill 20-1410, a recently signed act that provides $20 million in direct rental and mortgage assistance to Coloradans experiencing financial need, including $350,000 for legal aid for renters at risk of eviction. Landlords and property owners can apply for assistance on behalf of multiple tenants, and tenants can also apply for assistance on their own. Call 303-864-7810 for the steps to apply. If you’re facing eviction, other resources that may help you are located on the Colorado Department of Local Affairs’ website. Counties and municipalities may still be offering financial and other assistance as well. Contact your city, town or county government for more information. Find other housing and lowincome assistance on the website for 2-1-1 Colorado, the statewide resource system for people in need. Food assistance Hunger Free Colorado, a statewide nonprofit, works to keep food access information up to date for communities across Colorado. Hunger Free offers a food resource hotline to help individuals and families access food, according to 2-1-1 Colorado. Find food resources on Hunger Free’s website or call the hotline at 855-855-4626 from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. For food pantries and other resources, see 2-1-1 Colorado’s site. School district-provided meals Chalkbeat, a nonprofit news organization, maintains a list of locations where school districts provided meals during the spring school closures due to the pandemic. Many districts offer summer meal
programs as well. Contact your student’s district for information. For older adults A Little Help, a Colorado nonprofit, serves older adults. The organization equipped background-checked, pre-screened volunteers to grocery shop, pick up prescriptions and run other essential errands for older adults, according to one of Colorado’s COVID-19 resource webpages. Regular “care calls” to older adults for social connection, health and safety checks, snow shoveling, and yard chores are also among the nonprofit’s services — while practicing social distancing to minimize risk, according to the webpage. A Little Help has operations from metro Denver to northern Colorado and in the Roaring Fork Valley, according to the page. Visit the nonprofit’s website or call 720-242-9032 in metro Denver, 970-404-1923 in the Roaring Fork Valley or 970-412-9396 in northern Colorado. Child care The Colorado Child Care Assistance Program helps families that are homeless, working, searching for work or in school to find lowincome child care assistance. Each county’s human services department help manage the program, according to the Colorado Office of Early Childhood. Each county sets eligibility requirements but must help families that have income of 185% or less of the federal poverty guideline. You can learn about applying for assistance on the Colorado Office of Early Childhood’s website. See other information for children and families on the Colorado Department of Human Services’ website. Paying utilities Comcast is offering new, low-income customers two months of free internet, and during the COVID-19 pandemic, Xcel Energy will not disconnect service to any residential customers until further notice, according to its website. Individuals having difficulty paying bills are encouraged to contact Xcel’s customer service center to arrange a payment plan that works for them. In response to the pandemic, an organization called Energy Outreach Colorado has increased the number of times individuals can access assistance to help pay utility bills, according to 2-1-1 Colorado. See Energy Outreach Colorado’s website or call 1-866-432-8435. See more information on 2-1-1 Colorado’s website. Health insurance Coloradans who experience “a lifechanging event” — such as losing job-based coverage, moving, getting married or having a baby — are eligible for a special enrollment period. That’s a 60-day window to buy or change health care plans, according to Connect for Health Colorado, the state’s official health insurance marketplace. See more information on Connect for Health Colorado’s website. If you qualify for Medicaid, you can enroll any time of year, whether you qualify for a special enrollment period or not. To apply for Medicaid or the Child Health Plan Plus, visit coloradope-
GROCERY, PRESCRIPTION DELIVERY The Denver Regional Mobility and Access Council lists transportation services throughout the metro area that offer medical trips and deliver prescriptions and groceries. One example is the Essie Lee Foundation, offering transportation for the general public but specializing in “challenged, seniors and at-risk populations.” Special requests for grocery, food bank and medication pick-up are available. You ak.secure.force.com or call 2-1-1. Business help The Energize Colorado Gap Fund will provide more than $25 million in small-business loans and grants. Sole proprietors, businesses and nonprofits with fewer than 25 fulltime employees can apply for up to a $15,000 grant and a $20,000 loan for a possible combined total of $35,000 in assistance. The application was to launch in early August, according to Energize Colorado’s website. All eligible Colorado-based micro and small businesses may apply, but priority will be given to applicants that are majority-owned by Black or indigenous people, other people of color, veterans, or women — or businesses in rural areas. Those in the tourism sector and those with limited or no access to capital financing or other federal, state or local grants or loans will also be prioritized. Under the program, rural areas are defined as follows: • A county with a population of fewer than 50,000 people. • A municipality with a population of fewer than 50,000 people that is located 10 miles or more from a municipality with a population of more than 50,000 people. • The unincorporated part of a county — meaning not in a city or town — located 10 miles or more from a municipality with a population of more than 50,000 people. Those that have not been successful in pursuing or receiving funds from other federal, state and local assistance programs such as the federal Paycheck Protection Program are eligible to apply. Gov. Jared Polis and the Colorado legislature designated a $20 million grant from the federal CARES Act funding to distribute alongside $5 million in loans from private donors

hen exercising, location makes a big difference when it comes to how enjoyable the experience can be. Denver Arts & Venues knows this extremely well, as the department organizes the annual Yoga on the Rocks series at Red Rocks Amphitheatre. Now they’re bringing exercise to another iconic COMING location with its ATTRACTIONS new Sculpture Park Fitness Series. Series “As an agency, we try to activate all our venues. We wanted to host something at the arts complex because it’s so accessible and Clarke Reader has all these cool spaces,” said Brian Kitts, Arts & Venues spokesman. “We started kicking around what we might do, and we thought fitness would be an easy one to do and access for people.” Running from Aug. 4 to Sept.29, Denver Arts & Venues is partnering with 10 local fitness studios and cultural arts organizations to host a variety of 60-minute classes, including dance, cardio, boot camp, high-intensity interval training, meditation and sound healing, barre, yoga and more at the Denver Center for the Performing Arts’ Sculpture Park, located at Champa Street between 13th Street and Speer Boulevard. The partner organizations include Barre3, BLOCK21, Bodies by Perseverance, Cleo Parker Robinson Dance, CM Dance, Edgar L. Page: Feel the Movement, Endorphin, Hot Mamas, Luna Vibrations and Palango! Fitness. “When we do exercise events at other locations it’s usually yoga or boot camps, and while this series has elements of that, the partnerships with these groups allows us to present something new,” Kitts said. “Many of these are groups we work with regularly, but not in this capacity. People are used to seeing them on stage, but here they get to participate with them.” Classes will be every Tuesday and Thursday, with multiple sessions per day. And to maintain safety, staff will have marked 10-foot circles, six feet apart, throughout the park to provide attendees with ample space to safely exercise together. According to provided information, City and State mandates are being followed regarding audience size and all participants are being asked to adhere to physical distancing guidelines, use of face coverings, SEE READER, P15

sanitary functions and other safety protocols. “One of our goals is to give people a chance to gather, and if they have to do so in smaller groups, it’s worth it to try,” Kitts said. “During this time, we’ve had to put the tried and true things to the side and figure out how to put on a show with the new set of rules. We hope people come out and give it a shot, because it really is a fun way to be outside and be with people.” Tickets can be purchased at www.

like Pete Yorn, Weezer and Jimmy Eat World. The group remains capable of solid and enjoyable albums while maintaining a charming sense of humor. Guster’s nearly 30 years of existence are beautifully on display on their new release, “OMAGAH! Guster With The Omaha Symphony.” Recorded on Feb. 8, 2019, at the Holland Performing Arts Center in Omaha, Nebraska, the album features 11 tracks from the performance. It features some of the group’s best-known tracks, like “Fa Fa” and “Satellite,” and with the strings it’s the perfect soundtrack for late-summer afternoons and evenings on the porch, patio or peristyle (Google it). Learn more about the group and the album at www.guster.com. Streaming style - Warner Bros.’ film history Warner Bros. studios is one of the most historic Hollywood production companies of all time, and during
its near-century of existence it has churned out some absolute classic films: “The Exorcist,” “Blazing Saddles,” “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Wolf ” are just a few from a top-notch catalogue. Every Tuesday on Warner Bros.’ YouTube channel, the studio is releasing a kind of visual mixtape that examines each decade of its existence. Each video is about an hour long and highlights some of the best and most famous films that were produced during the era. So far videos covering the 50s, 60s and 70s have been released, and not only are they entertaining offerings in their own right, but they’re a great way to get some recommendations for what you’d like to watch next.

has embarked on her Climbing for a Cause: the Fourteeners Project — she will be climbing all 58 of Colorado’s 14,000-foot mountains. And she’s climbing them with a 60-liter teal ShelterBox on her back. “ShelterBox ambassadors tend to do crazy challenges with the box,” Woodrum said, adding the box accompanies them on the physical challenges for awareness purposes. “Physical challenges are nothing new to me (and) I’m always looking for opportunities to combine my passions.” Woodrum is a triathlete and in the past has participated in physical challenges for various fundraising/ awareness events. She became an ambassador for ShelterBox after learning about the organization as she was researching humanitarian groups that she could get involved with as she pursued her master’s degree. Originally from Kentucky, Woodrum earned her undergraduate degree in nonprofit administration and Spanish from the University of Kentucky. She lived abroad for about five years — most of the time was spent in southeast Asia — and moved to Denver about a year ago to earn a graduate degree in humanitarian assistance from DU. Colorado was particularly attractive to her because of the state’s abundance of outdoor recreation, she said, pointing out that she had heard of Colorado’s iconic fourteeners. ShelterBox is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year, and was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize in both 2018 and 2019. It got its start as a project by a Rotary Club in England. What ShelterBox does is provide people who have been displaced because of natural disaster or conflict with the essential items needed to set up a household, said Kerri Murray, president of ShelterBox USA. These items include a tent, in addition to other basic needs such as water filtration, solar-powered lights, warm blankets, cooking equipment and even a children’s activity set, Murray said. “They’re little things,” Woodrum said, “but they play a big role in keeping vulnerable communities safe.” ShelterBox has responded to at

Northglenn has plenty of room for Magic Fest Annual celebration of tricks and mystery makes concessions for COVID-19 BY SCOTT TAYLOR STAYLOR@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Now in its fourth year, Northglenn’s Magic Festival will try to build on the things that have made it popular while keeping COVID-19 social distancing restrictions in place. “I feel like people want a sense of normalcy, but we want them to be safe,” Stokes said. “I’m willing to make those concessions. I’d rather do something fun than not do anything at all.” Northglenn’s Magic Festival is scheduled noon to 6:30 p.m. Aug. 15 at the Northglenn Recreation Center. Tickets are $8 person. “Last year we had about 4,000 people that attended. This year, the maximum house is 525,” said Steven Stokes, Northglenn Events Supervisor. “It’s going to be different.” Rather than rows of vendors out front, wandering magicians near the entrance and a theater full of magic fans, this year’s event will features a series of smaller, more intimate performances with the state’s best magicians. Plenty of space “Our theater normally seats 300 people, but under COVID our seating capacity is 37 at a time, in an inside

Different groups of spectators will be admitted for a showing every 30 minutes. Each group will get to see four shows performed by different magicians and will even learn to perform a trick. “They’ll see one show after the other, and they travel,” Stokes said. “So, they go to the theater and see the first show. And then they move north of the Rec Center and there will be three more successive shows. One show will be sleight-of-hand, the next will be stand up, which is comedy. One show during the day is more kids magic.” The final stage will features illussionist Carol Massie, co-owner of

What they have to do to perform the trick.” In all the, show will features performances by 10 different magicians from around the Denver metro area. “I think of it like haunted house,

A note to new gun owners
T
his week I’m going to be addressing a subject I never imagined I would ever be writing about in this column and that’s talking AVENUE about guns. I generally try to FLASHES stay away from adding to a discussion that is some kind of political or social hot bed of controversy and keep things light hearted and neutral here in Avenue Flashes, and this week I am going to John Akal make an attempt to stay on that path while discussing a very serious topic that has the potential to erupt into a powder keg. First off, let me tell you that I am not a gun nut, nor am I a member of any gun organization that has some kind of horse in various political races. I’m just a guy who owns a couple of small handguns for personal and family protection. But, I am also the kind of person that takes gun ownership very seriously and fully understands the consequences of mishandling them and not knowing how, when and where to use them. When I was a kid, growing up here in Golden during the 1960s and 70s there was still a strong sense of sexism with toys for children. There were girls toys and boys toys and every boy in the neighborhood had some kind of toy gun. That’s just the way it was. We’d play cops and robbers or army or even pretend to be super spies like
James Bond, but lots of our playtime involved handling some kind of toy gun. Of course we had a few girls in the neighborhood who would “borrow” their brother’s guns and join in the games too, and truthfully, most of them were better shots with the ones that actually fired a projectile than the boys. When we got to be a little bit older, BB and pellet guns started to be introduced into the equation. That’s when you started to learn things about gun safety so you didn’t “put an eye out” with one of those things, like in the famous Christmas movie. You also learned, sometimes the hard way, that you could blow somebody’s window out or accidentally hit someone standing behind your target. That’s when most kids started to realize that guns aren’t always just a toy and once you had one that you actually put bullets in you treat it with respect, even if you use it for sport shooting. The fun and games can turn into life and death pretty quickly. Which brings me to the point of today’s column. Due to current events surrounding COVID and protests turning violent in some places, one business has been thriving and running to capacity. That’s the gun business. Gun sales have skyrocketed and ammunition in the poplar sizes is sold out in most stores that carry it. So, that means that there are a lot of new gun owners out there and that’s something I want to address. Not all of you grew up handling guns of one kind or another. SEE AKAL, P17

Owning a gun is a huge responsibility and you need to learn a lot to be able to keep yourself and others safe and that goes beyond just knowing not to look down the barrel of a loaded gun. Personally, I’m not an expert on every gun on the market, but I made it my business to become as expert as possible with the two I own. That involves training and practice. Lots of practice. So, if you just invested in a new gun for the first time, take some classes or private lessons and spend some time at a gun range. You need to know what’s going to happen when you pull that trigger. You also need to know and fully understand all of the gun and self defense laws in Colorado. If you want to carry one concealed on your person, you need a permit. Of course you can do a lot of research on line and watch tons of videos, but you really need some hands-on training and that is where our local gun shops and shooting

ranges can come into play. Most of them either offer classes themselves or tell you where to find good ones. Golden has several shops that actually have classrooms in them as do most of the indoor ranges and they all want to help you be a better shooter. There are also independent instructors who run classes at both indoor and outdoor ranges. Right now, the important thing to be aware of is that these classes are up and running everywhere, even with the COVID restrictions.

High-school sports schedule upended by COVID-19 ‘Everything is not ideal,’ says CHSAA’s commissioner
2020-21 CHSAA SPORTS CALENDAR The schedule divides up Colorado high school sports into four seasons. Given are the sport, the start date and the tentatives date or dates of state championship games, if determined. Dates are as of Aug. 4.
BY LINDSEY SMITH THE GAZETTE
The state’s 2020 fall high-school sports season was slashed from 11 sports to four following an Aug. 4 announcement by the Colorado High School Activities Association after a lengthy compromise and approval from state health officials. The association announced its 202021 calendar after a call with Gov. Jared Polis, a release said, during which CHSAA “received a final response on the plan it submitted to the state’s COVID response team.” Boys’ tennis, boys’ golf, softball and cross country have been approved to compete in a modified fall season, with competition beginning as early as Aug. 6 through Oct. 17. The remaining fall sports — football, boys’ soccer, girls’ volleyball, field hockey, gymnastics and unified bowling — will be played in a new “Season C” beginning about March 1. Football was granted special permission to begin practice Feb. 22 due to minimum practice requirements before the first contest on March 4. “Everything is not ideal. Any time you go outside of the ‘norm’ it’s not ideal,” CHSAA Commissioner Rhonda Blanford-Green said during a Zoom press conference June 4. “But at the end of the day, we are in a pandemic and we are in charge of creating opportunities for our kids within the state guidelines and the educational guidelines.” A moratorium on high school participation will be in place following the fall “Season A” from Oct. 18 through Jan. 3, 2021, as a precaution as “data from the state shows a likely resurgence of COVID-19 cases in late fall,” according to a release. Winter sports, or “Season B” — including basketball, ice hockey, spirit, girls’ swimming and wrestling (boys’ and girls’) — may begin practice Jan. 4, and will compete through March 6, including playoffs and state championships.

Spring sports will compete in “Season D” beginning practices April 26 and will go into late June, though state championship dates for many sports have not been set. Season D will be the largest sevenweek season with nine sports competing: baseball, boys’ and girls’ lacrosse, girls’ tennis, boys’ swimming, girls’ golf, girls’ soccer, track and field, and boys’ volleyball. Blanford-Green said CHSAA’s original plan submitted to state officials advocated to keep the sports seasons intact, and requested increased capacity at games and in roster guidelines, but when confirmed positive cases began to surge in Colorado the association went back to the drawing board to submit contingency plans.
“I’m very grateful that we were able to collaborate with different state agencies and able to advocate and get some of the things we wanted that probably weren’t going to happen,” Blanford-Green said, adding the CHSAA fought to include cross country as an approved fall sport. “Right now we are feeling very good about our ability to not have disruptions, not have cancellations and to try to give every kid in the state of Colorado the opportunity to participate in a sport and in a season.” The Gazette’s Kate Shefte contributed to this report.
